The roots of Johnson-Reyess' fandom go back to her time on the sketch comedy show MADtv.
That shouldn't be a surprise, however. These days, Johnson-Reyes, who was once a professional cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders, is a hot commodity on the stand-up circuit.
The roots of her fandom go back to her time on the sketch comedy show MADtv, which led to her popularity on YouTube performing characters such as angry fast-food employee Bon Qui Qui and Vietnamese nail salon worker Tammy ("You have boyfriend?"). A video of the latter has gathered 42 million views since being posted 15 years ago.
Along with her stand-up comedy and sketch work, Johnson-Reyes hosts the podcast Nights at the Round Table with her husband Manwell and recently released her memoir Who Do I Think I Am?: Stories of Chola Wishes and Caviar Dreams.
The dedication at the beginning of the book reads: "To my younger self who had the audacity to go for a dream that started as a fantasy and turned into a reality. Thank you for your bravery. I wouldn't be here without you."
